The OC Film School with Mora

Transcript

Join us in welcoming Mora to “The College Tour.” Mora had barely set foot on campus before being embraced by students and faculty as though she’s been enrolled for years. As a student in the OC Film School, she’s working towards her bachelor’s in one of the most innovative and affordable film schools in the entire nation. Lights, camera, action. Take it away, Mora.

– Thanks, Alex. From the moment I stepped foot onto this campus, I knew I was part of a family. I met with a professor to tour the facilities, and before I left campus, not only was I sitting in on his acting class, but I was actively participating as if I’d been enrolled all along. I got my filmmaking start creating cinematic vlogs and stories. I didn’t have a crew, so I was working every role. From writer to director to talent, I did it all. While that was fun for a while, I yearned for more. I wanted to be in someone else’s stories for a change, to play characters other than myself. At the OC Film School, I’m learning all aspects of filmmaking and doing things I never thought I could. I’ve learned so much about cinematography, like how to film a car chase scene, all while honing my acting skills with my fellow classmates. I was cast as a lead in a short horror film written and directed by friends in my cohort that’ll be screened at a local theater. The bond we share at OC is special. We’re more than just classmates, we’re collaborators. The admissions process was incredibly easy. Everyone I met was so supportive and kind. Here at OC, I am able to be my most creative self and nobody bats an eye. We’re a close-knit community where we’re encouraged to be eccentric, excitable, enthusiastic, and opinionated. OC has taught me that my college education is about more than just skills. It’s about finding your community, your passion, your voice. My journey here has prepared me for the film industry, and not just as an actor, but as a storyteller. And that’s a wrap from OC Film School. Back to you, Alex.

– Wow, Mora, the skills and experience you are gaining at the OC Film School are absolutely fantastic. You’re learning from industry professionals in brand new facilities and making connections that will last a lifetime. And although your story is still being written, your future looks very bright indeed. Thanks, Mora.
